Bet this didn't happen in your game
 

This isn't directly officiating-related, but it is hilarious. My wife is a cheerleading coach/teacher in the school district where we live and where I went to high school. Since I referee, I can't make it to many of their games, so she keeps me filled in. I had a game tonight in one town, and they traveled for a conference game about 30 minutes away in another town.

On the way back from my game with my partner, I get a text from her. Seeing that the subject matter of this text was interesting to say the least, I call her. She informs me that during the varsity game tonight there was a streaker that ran all the way across the gym. :D

I guess it was a high school kid from the host school. He ran either out of the student section or came in the door next to it, ran across the floor in front of the visitor's bench, and out the exit in that corner to a waiting car that sped off. (They found that part out later I guess) To top it all off, the kid was wearing only some sort of mask and boots, and according to someone on Facebook, he did a high step of sorts on the way out of the gym.

I can honestly say I don't know what I would do if I was working a game and this happened. She said everyone was laughing and couldn't believe it was happening, including a cop working security. I know the guys that were working the game, so it will be interesting to get their story about it.

Damn right. I live in Maine. No-one gets naked here in January.

It happened to me either last season or the season before. Home team student (male), completely naked.

The best line I heard was from the teacher who said, "It's always a boy. Girls have too much sense to do that."

Where was Padgett? :p

Was he the shortest man on the Home Team? :p

MTD, Sr.

Blow the play dead and call a travelling violation. He moved his pivot cheek.

I had a streaker on the field at a college softball game a few years ago. There was a 4' fence in the outfield. He come flying from behind the bleachers, ran into the outfield and jumped over the fence and across the railroad tracks. He was arrested a short time later by campus police.

The funniest part was when the centerfielder, who he ran by, pointed at his midsection and laughed. :)

That was hurtful. MN can get some cold spring weather.

You're sure he wasn't part of an Allstate commercial?

Or too much going on.

I do girl's Lacrosse and host school plays on front of school. Biggest game of year, big crowd. Just before a draw, suddenly there is a stampede of 7-8 nakkid guys coming from side of school across field to a waiting van, It took all of 5 seconds. No one said a thing or reacted, and play went on. probably since it was 3-4 year in a row. Strange.

Good thing he didn't get anything caught up on the fence.

At least no one that hasn't been hitting the Allen's or the Moxie or if you're from Bangor, bath salts.

What language is this written in? :)

Working in law enforcement for a university, I have to disagree. Most of incident exposure calls are females. Or at least that's what their operator's license classifies them as.

Canadian

That's what I thought would be the punch line, glad it made it across!

...Coach, did you say blow?:p

I'll Be Here All Week Folks ...
 

Did you hear about the cow who tried to jump over the barbed wire fence?

Udderly destroyed.

eh?

Allen's is a coffee brandy which the native Mainah's are known to drink. Moxie is a soda that is best described as an acquired taste as well. It doubles as a paint remover.

It is true my original statement would make sense to a person from Maine, the rest of the country probably not.
